Hello, I'm having trouble understanding why A is the incorrect answer. In the video explanation, she said that "the press agent did not tell everything about the accident to any reporter" meant "the press agent told some reporter everything about the incident" but wouldn't this contradict what answer choice A is saying? And just because the press agent didn't tell everything to anyone, couldn't it still be possible that the press agent told a little bit of the same information to every reporter which would mean they all have the same information? Therefore, not being able to scoop? Please provide some clarity on this one.
Are we just supposed to find a conditional statement that contradicts the conclusion by finding what guarantees the opposite of that conclusion (in this case, no reporter has more info than any others--> Not scoop)? And the sufficient condition is what will be our answer?
I also saw that the ending premise and conclusion incorrectly negated the transitive statement without reversing them but I had a hard time connecting that to the answer choices.
